Getting Started
Q: I would like to do food demonstrations and tastings in my agency. How do I get started?
A: First, it can be helpful to determine the types of demonstrations that are best for your
agency.
This Resource Guide was developed by the
Healthy Habits 2010 Education Committee Workgroup:
Joy Ahrens, Northeast Valley Health Corporation WIC
Angela Damon, Watts Healthcare Corporation WIC
Valerie Haack, Placer County WIC, California State WIC
Rose McIsaac, Del Norte Clinics, Inc. WIC
Maryann Miernicki, American Red Cross WIC
Gauri Rao, Public Health Foundation Enterprises WIC
There are three different types of food demonstrations. The one you choose depends on your
participants, location, and availability of food and equipment needed to properly prepare and hold the
food. Time is also a factor to consider. Single ingredient samplings require very little time while
cooking an entire dish is a lengthier process.
Single Ingredient Samplings
Fruits, vegetables, or other healthful foods that may be new to our participants are cut into bite-sized
pieces for sampling. This type of food demonstration is often used when you have very limited space
and equipment and requires little time. This is a great way to get started with food tastings.
Recipe Tastings
A recipe is prepared in advance for tasting. It is important to be sure proper holding temperatures are
maintained and appropriate equipment for refrigeration or heating purposes is available. Precooked
demonstrations are often best for sites with limited equipment and space.
Food/Cooking Demonstrations
The entire recipe is prepared in front of participants. It is important to be very organized to make this
type of demonstration a success. Consideration should be given to the time it takes to prepare the
recipe, the equipment at the facility, and the demonstrator’s skill level.
Second, looking through this resource guide may provide answers to your questions.

Ideas from Local Agencies
If you have never done food demos at your agency and your staff is showing resistance, start
small and try single ingredient samplings first! This can be a good way to get buy-in from staff.
Start simple. If you have never done any food tastings, then start with a single ingredient
sampling. Let the success of the power of taste on behavior change help move your agency
forward to try something more complex if possible.
We started with easy recipes like smoothies and frescas in the summer and crock pot soups for
the winter. We only purchased equipment as we needed it and chose recipes that were very
simple.

Q: How do I get administrative and staff buy-in?
What research exists on the influence of food tastings on behavior change?
A: The following are research references on the impact of food demonstrations/tastings on
modifying behavior:
1. Vegetable and fruit consumption increases when intervention includes food demonstrations,
food tasting, meal planning or other activity directed at increasing confidence in family meal
preparation.
• Ciliska D, Miles E, O’Brien MA, Turl C, Tomasik, HH, Donavan V, et al. (2000). Effectiveness of
community-based interventions to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Journal of Nutrition
Education, 32:341-352.
2. In a peer-led nutrition education intervention for college students, the cooking
demonstrations was the most effective component.
• Bradley K, Silliman K, & Morris MN. (2008) Evaluation of a peer-led nutrition education intervention
among college students. The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 22:681.7.
3. Learner-centered education improved folate intake in WIC participants. Education program
involved group discussions, participatory activities, worksheets, visual aids, cooking
demonstrations, and instructor explanations.
• Cena ER, Joy AB, Heneman K, Espinosa-Hall G, Garcia L, Schneider C et al. (2008) Learner-centered
nutrition education improves folate intake and food-related behaviors in nonpregnant, low-income women
of childbearing age. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 108:1627-1635.
4. More recipes were prepared at home when the recipe was demonstrated at the EFNEP offices
versus recipes that were only distributed without a food demonstration.
• Bouchey CJ, & Rauch M. (1989) Demonstration increases recipe use among Hawaii graduates of the
Lesson Plans
Q: How can I do quality assurance?
A: 2 areas of quality assurance to consider are:
• Presentation skills
o Use or adapt your agency group education evaluation tool.
• Participant feedback
o Here is a sample feedback form you could use or adapt:
Recipe Name:
Food Demonstration Evaluation
Date:
Demonstrator:
Please rate your level of agreement with the following statements:
Strongly
Disagree
I liked the sample I tasted at this demonstration.
Disagree
Neutral
Agree
Strongly
Agree
I plan to make this recipe at home.
This demonstration taught me how to make this
recipe at home.
I learned new ways to help my family eat
healthier.
What suggestions do you have for future demonstrations?
Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 11:16561658.
5. In a 15-week weight control program, participants used a significant percentage of the recipes
provided and tasting the foods at group meetings significantly increased the number of recipes
used at home.
• Norwalk MP, Wing RR, & Koeske R. (1986) The effect of tasting food samples on the use of recipes
distributed in nutrition counseling. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 12:1715-1716.
6. Estimated that the food industry spends more than $1 billion each year on sampling programs.

a lot: How free samples influence shoppers’ buying behavior.
Ideas from Local Agencies
To get buy-in from your staff or your agency’s administration, conduct the “Rate Your Senses” activity
as presented at the CWA conference.
Our nutrition education coordinator brought the idea to our Director with simplicity in mind and
behavior change and FUN as the goals. We did staff surveys to see who would be most interested in
teaching cooking demos and started with those staff only. We also did the demos at staff meetings to
get staff used to the idea as fun and easy.

Ideas from Local Agencies
Talking to participants after class is a great way to get immediate feedback.
Listen to WIC participants. If participants do not like a specific recipe, consider changing it. Some
cultures may be more accepting of certain foods than others.
Use a staff evaluation tool that ensures each part of your lesson is being completed.

Ideas from Local Agencies
Have a nutrition student conduct a food safety presentation to your staff.
Invite your local Health Department to your staff meeting to talk about food safety.
We used the Learning Center in Sacramento to custom design hands on cooking classes for our
staff. They learned basic skills like mincing, chopping, slicing, and prepared a meal. Everyone
came away with some new tips to share with participants.
We are doing a food demo each staff meeting now and a quick lesson. This takes very little time
and money.

Ideas from Local Agencies
Ask staff for their favorite family recipes!
Pick recipes that test well with your staff. Pick fruits and vegetables that are in season and are low
cost. Pick recipes that do NOT have strong smells or do not hold well.

equipment that is shared with
other organizations.
If you have additional questions, contact your regional advisor.
Wear an apron.
Right before the demonstration:
o
Set up the cooking station and preparation area.
During the Demonstration
□
Prepare the recipe:
o
Give an overview of the demonstration including what will be covered, the main nutrition theme, and approximate
length of the demonstration. The nutrition messages should be repeated often throughout the presentation.
o
Focus on the nutritious foods being used in the recipe and give details about their nutrient content, selection, and
storage tips.
o
Each step should be explained in detail as if the participants cannot actually view the techniques.
o
Be sure to taste the products for correct seasoning before serving. Use a clean plastic spoon for tasting the food,
then discard it.
o
Show a finished version of the recipe in its serving dish with a garnish.
o
Discuss alternative equipment that might be used.
o
Serve two or three bites.
o
Discuss the eye appeal, aroma, “mouthfeel”, and flavor.
o
□
Discuss alternative ingredients that can be substituted.
Have participants taste the food:
o
For large groups, prepare the finished recipe ahead of time and have sample sized portions in dishes for tasting.
□
Allow time for questions. Sample questions include: Who has ever eaten or prepared ingredient?; What ingredients
□
Distribute copies of recipes and handouts and collect any evaluation materials.
are new or interesting to you?; What questions do you have? How might you use this ingredient in your cooking?
What reaction do you think your family would have to this recipe? How might you change this recipe for your
family?

Ideas from Local Agencies
When opening a new WIC office, consider how your new space can accommodate food demos
and tastings.
When remodeling, consider adding or upgrading a sink & countertop area or purchasing a cooking
cart. We purchased simple ones from walmart.com.

Q: How do I calculate how much ingredients to buy and the food cost?
Q: Do I need to certify staff for food handling and safety to do food demonstrations?
A: The following table gives guidelines for:
A: No, but it is highly recommended to ensure safety.
Step 1
Description
Calculating Ingredient Quantities and Food Cost
Calculate the total
number of samples the
recipe produces.
Note: In general, 1 food
demonstration sample is:
2 liquid ounces or
¼ cup or
¼ of your recipe’s
serving size.
Step 2
Calculate the number of
times the recipe needs to
be prepared.
☺
Always round
Note:
up and include 1 extra
preparation to account
for spillage.
Step 3
Ingredients
List the ingredients in 1
recipe.
For example:
1 banana
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup orange juice
1 cup vanilla yogurt

Cost of Food
40 people ÷ 16 samples per recipe =
2.5 times the recipe needs to be
repeated.
This recipe should be prepared 4 times
to provide samples for 40 people.
Total Cost
Determine the food cost.
Calculate total cost.
For example:
For example:
1 banana = $ .50
1 16 oz (2 cups) package of strawberries = $3.00
1 quart (4 cups) orange juice = $2.00
1 quart (4 cups) vanilla yogurt = $ 2.50
Conversion Chart
4 bananas = $2.00
4 cups strawberries = $6.00
4 cups orange juice = $2.00
4 cups vanilla yogurt = $ 2.50
Total Cost = $12.50
÷ 40 servings = $ .31/serving

Ideas from Local Agencies
Use an Excel Spreadsheet to help with your calculations.
Centralized preparation for food demonstration saves time and money if this is practical for your
local agency.
Think about how many people come with your clients also- they will all want a taste!
Consider the cost of ingredients for both you and the client.
Use fruits and vegetables in season.

retail food demos but still includes valuable information)
http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/cpns/Documents/Network-FV-RP-FoodDemoTrainingKit-2007-10.pdf
Ideas from Local Agencies
Invite a local chef to your staff meeting to demo basic cooking techniques.
Consider training as many staff as possible in food safety because then they can monitor each
other and make sure things are done safely.
We sent one staff per site to SERVSAFE training. We then did an all staff review of the key
messages.

Logistics
Logistics
Q: What are some ways I can pay for food?
A: The following are ways that agencies purchase food for demonstrations/ tastings:
1.
Grocery Gift Cards
2.
Petty Cash
3.
Cash Advance
4.
Expense Reimbursement
5.
Purchase Order
Q: How can I save time when purchasing food?
A: Consider these options:
- Divide the shopping list among several staff.
- Choose recipes with ingredients that can be found in one local store.
Q: What are some scheduling ideas?
A: When scheduling, it is helpful to keep the following in mind:
o Prep time
o Actual demo time
o Clean up time
o Recipe
o Staffing
o Time of class
o Classes before and after demo
o Time of Day
Q: Can I make the recipe at home?
A: Yes, if your agency allows this - but remember to follow proper food safety guidelines.
Ideas from Local Agencies
If limited on time, considered doing food demos only for the classes with a bigger turnout.
Consider scheduling special food demo days.
Ideas from Local Agencies
Give your staff time to prepare. Don’t schedule cooking classes first thing in the morning or on
Mondays.
Some grocery stores will set up a direct billing and provide “credit card” type cards for easy access
to groceries at multiple locations. This also makes for easy tracking of expenses, because you
receive an itemized list of all purchases.
Schedule an hour block for a 30 minute class to prep, set up and clean up. Schedule cooking
classes back to back to save time.
We do a check request for a grocery store gift card - $500 at a time. Then we have one person in
charge of purchasing. She buys for all of the sites. Using a log she numbers the receipts and
keeps a running total of what’s left. The log and receipts are kept for auditing.
Have a lead person or team of two at each site with a back up.
Prep for recipe at main site and then ship out ingredients or complete recipes to smaller sites.
If you have sites with limited facilities, send complete recipe and return dishes etc. to main site
for clean up. Use disposable items such as liners for crockpots for easy clean up.
